This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2019 tasting notes:
‘I loved the still white 2019 Vinya del Noguer produced with Xarel.lo grapes, a wine with a strong personality, very different, with a nose that made me think of food, salty and marine, with notes of wet chalk and a flinty/smoky touch. It has contained ripeness, moderate alcohol at 12.2% and very good freshness and acidity, remarkable for a very Mediterranean vintage. This has to be one of the finest still whites from Xarel.lo grapes. This matured in concrete egg and amphorae. It's complex and full of energy and light. Superb. 2,263 bottles produced. 2022-2028’ – Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, 95/100
‘This is lively and intense with spicy detail and notes of pear, peach and lime, with some saline notes. Very fine and pure with a salty twist to the fruit. Layered and fine.’ – Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com, 95/100

| Producer information | Since 1497, and for more than 20 generations, the Raventós family, has been working the land and tending vines in the Penedès region in Spain. 21st generation, Pepe Raventós, officially joined the family business, Raventós I Blanc in 2001 and in 2014 he also started his own project. The estate’s particular microclimate is influenced by the river, a lake, two streams as well as a hill known as the Turó del Serral. The soils which were formed over 16 million years ago are calcareous with marine fossils which are the ideal conditions for producing wines of freshness, elegance and a powerful salinity. All of the plots are biodynamically farmed so that the terroir shines in the wines. |
